Skin stuff
Mar. 4th, 2008 08:36 pmO hay Flist girls,
So because I've grown sick of eating badly (yes, nothing but pasta for lunch and dinner just because someone else cooks it for you is not such a good idea), I've been following a salad regime for the last week, aided and abetted by Hannah. It was meant to be salad for all meals save breakfast, but that got old -- just salad for the main meal, which is pretty fun, actually. I like salads. >:
My other big obsession right now is my skin, kind of prompted by the sun destruction thing. Now, I take quite good care of my skin normally - exfoliating with Garnier mint scrub, moisturising with coconut butter and such, but I want to give it a bit of rejuvenation for spring and the increasingly lovely weather. I tried the whole avocado-based face mask thing a while back, but as my skin is kind of oily anyway (though not prone to spots), I ended up breaking out in some wonderful Vesuvian-esque spots.
Does anyone know of any good natural remedies or rejuvenation techniques for skin? I like the idea of a facial mask or something as we're having a girls' night tomorrow, replete with Bridget Jones and dark chocolate, but it can't be something that's going to cause a mass break-out the way the avocado did. My skin is Irish White and smooth, quite sensitive, but I'm not allergic to anything cosmetic or fruity or what have you.
Advice, plz.
